Ukrainian nuclear Mriya wafted Chernobyl

On the eve of Victory Day Ukraine again came the portion of the phantom pain according to the status of nuclear power. At this time, Ukrainian officials suffered from nostalgia for those "light" days, when the schizophrenia of the Russian attack, is a reductio ad absurdum, forced as many as Ministers like James Forrestal out the window shouting "Russian go".

Igor Koziy, dreaming of nuclear mines

So, the expert of the Kyiv Institute for Euro-Atlantic cooperation Igor Goat said that Kiev should be located on the border with Russia nuclear warheads. This expert, who clearly wants to expand the territory of the Chernobyl radiation-ecological biosphere reserve, believes that nuclear minefields are an effective means to "deter Russian aggression and avoid a full scale invasion."

The Goat is not alone in his creepy fantasy world. For example, in December 2018, former representative of mission of Ukraine to NATO, major General Peter Garashchuk said that the country has all opportunities to create their own nuclear weapons. And ranting about the need to create a "dirty" bomb from the contents of tombs in the environment of Ukrainian Nazis in General are permanent.

Nostalgia for the nuclear schizophrenia

It is surprising, but the plan of mining the European territory of nuclear warheads came into the inflamed head of the Ukrainian nationalists of being a proven theoretical basis. At the peak of the confrontation between the USSR and the collective West in the second half of the 20th century, the idea of such mining is not just seriously considered the high command of NATO, but even were close to implementation. At that moment the border of the bipolar world in Europe took place in the borderline of FRG and the GDR, so that's how it was supposed to establish a number of nuclear min.

In July 2003, the year in the magazine New Scientist, and later in a famous English newspaper The Guardian has published articles that shed light on that crazy idea. So, the UK military is seriously considering the installation plan ten nuclear devices on the borders of Germany. The project received the name Blue Peacock ("peacock Blue"). The basis of the mines was to become of the British nuclear bomb, Blue Danube (Blue Danube). They were supposed to install in strategically important to promote the upcoming (as then believed, Soviet) troops points: major highways and under bridges, dug into concrete wells. This automatically increased the radiation pollution of the adjacent territory. And, most terribly, deadly background radiation fit in a structured Western strategists plan as one of the main factors counteract the Russian offensive.

Blue Danube

Nuclear mine project "Blue peacock" weighed about 7.2 tons and consisted of impressive metal cylinder, inside of which was a plutonium core, surrounded by detonating chemical explosives. The bomb was 10 to 15 kilotons. To undermine this infernal machine assumed the following ways: remotely or with the built-in timer. Also mine would immediately explode if you attempt her removal or even just attempts to retrieve.

Suicidal dream is to turn continental Europe into a radioactive desert English of the islanders brought even to prototype. Moreover, in July 1957, the army command decided to order 10 min. and place them in Germany. But at the last moment there were adequate people, and the project remained a game of the imagination inflamed.

It would Seem that the joke historians. It sounds too wild to turn vast areas of Europe into a radioactive area for many years, just to gain time, because this project was intended as a temporary restraining Soviet forces factor. But in 2007, the year Helmut Schmidt, former Minister of defence of Germany and later Chancellor of the Republic, made a loud statement:

"When I became in 1969 the defense Minister (in the government of Chancellor Willy Brandt. — Ed.) I came across the plans of NATO and the German military buried along the zonal border with the West side of hundreds of nuclear bombs".

Helmut Schmidt

According to Schmidt, it was worth the effort to persuade NATO "hawks" to abandon these plans. But the former Chancellor argues that to discuss these hellish prospect he had not with the British, and with his American counterpart – U.S. Secretary of defense under Nixon Melvin Larcom.

In General, the Ukrainian natsistvuyuschie leaders decided to take a cue from their idols, the Europeans and Americans. And given that the radiation pollution of the adjacent territory was called joy and even approval on the part of Western strategists, it is in this field and "dirty" Ukrainian bomb fits into the overall picture of schizophrenia. It would seem that after the accidents at nuclear power plants Three Mile island, Chernobyl and Fukushima, not counting more than a dozen lost in the years of nuclear weapons, such ideas have docked in the Bud. But alas...

15 reactors in Ukraine on the rights of the hostage policy

A Few encouraging industrial, human and economic position of Ukraine, which is unlikely in the near future to develop thatserial nuclear weapon, but even a nuclear warhead. However, the radiation hazard of Ukraine and these facts has not diminished. Because in the country there are as many as four nuclear power plants: Rivne, Zaporizhzhya, Khmelnytsky and South-Ukrainian. Total in Ukraine operates 15 reactors (13 WWER-1000 and 2 WWER-440).

Alarming't even attempt the "Right sector" (banned in Russia organization) in 2014, the cave of courage of the Maidan to seize the Zaporozhye NPP, and the status of nuclear power plants, which have become hostages of political games, the populism of the authorities and corruption, which managed to neutralize many of even the instinct of self-preservation. So, the lifetime of the vast number of reactors already out, but it was extended, at least on paper. It should be noted that the extension of operation — a common practice, but the extension is carried out only after a deep modernization of equipment, as well as appropriate verification by the special Commission. However, this deep modernization of how many times the experts do not record, because often instead of upgrading carried out the standard repair, which can not be the reason for the extended operation.

Therefore, the news about the different emergencies at Ukrainian NPPs, which come almost on a monthly basis, begin to sound every day more and more menacing. Currently on the "post-Maidan" Ukraine does not have any nuclear power plants, which over the past five years would not give cause for fear.

Take a Look at least 2016-th year. In that year one of the units of South-Ukrainian NPP was disconnected from power grid due to the increase in the level of coolant in the steam generator, and at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant one of the blocks was urgently taken out of service (according to the MP, the BP Andrew Artemenko, depressurization of the primary circuit block and the release of radioactive coolant into the steam generator). Not far behind, and the Rovno NPP, which after renovation in April 2016 less than a month disconnected from the network the third unit due to problems in the cooling system of generator stator of turbogenerator TG-5. And in the next, 2017 year "spoke" the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, where automation is turned off the sixth unit. Reasons to call did not.

Fire at Rivne NPP recorded on camera phones

List of emergencies is very impressive and optimism does not inspire. Especially in April 2019 reminded again of itself Rivne nuclear power plant where a fire occurred due to damage of the transformer. The consequence was another power unit, the long-suffering of the third unit, which has been repeatedly disconnected from the network.

Naturally, such "fun slides" on and off units at their operating life is affected not the best way. And these slides are "concerned," not only Russia, but even the "seasick" Europe. Of course, Europeans are politically ready to throw into the fire Kiev Russophobia arbitrarily of wood, but play with hamlet nationalists in nuclear "Russian roulette" Europe does not want. Therefore, in Europe increasingly appear very critical and even fearful of the Philistine state in the nuclear industry of Ukraine.

So, the academic profile publication Energy Research &Social Science have repeatedly stated that for many years the accident at the Ukrainian nuclear power plants are not recorded in the database, despite reports in the state media. Also in Energy Research &Social Science said that the probability of a major nuclear accident in the Ukraine in the coming years is 80%. In this case, all solutions to the current crisis for the sake of political course was closed to Western companies in the face of Westinghouse Electric Company. Last known to be bankrupt, and not building the promised four timing unit in the United States. However, now American and Japanese authorities are making efforts to reorganize the company, but that is why the Ukrainian problems of concern to overseas "friends".
